Holy kick ass pics!!

Totally professional -- something I can never claim to be. :D

I should have taken pics of these green caterpillars that were chowing on my collard greens. Finally picked them from the garden before the bugs got all the good parts. My wife was picking thru her plate all night! You'd think she'd appreciate when I cook for her! :lol: :D

I gotta at least try to add to the thread here .....Look at this nasty bastard I came face-to-face with out in the barn! :shock:

You'd be more scared for Smitty if he'd taken the picture from a different angle.......
